Fun Facts

A fun fact about me is that I am a superfan of the show Big Brother, to the point where I watch live feeds of the contestants while I work on my creative projects. I also enjoy all things creativity: doodling, writing, playing Dungeons and Dragons, you name it! My favorite thing to do is to make others laugh.

About Me

I just moved to NYC from Richmond, Virginia, where I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BA in English and a minor in Creative Writing. I obtained a major GPA of 3.739 and found a community at the Writing Center as a peer consultant. I dream of becoming a television writer.

Experience

I am a recent graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, and I've spent the last two years working at VCU's Writing Center. There, I helped upwards of 10 students a week with brainstorming, essays, research, and anything writing-related. I have specialized training in writing college-level essays and working with ESL students.

Approach

It is so important to make a connection with the students you tutor. Sharing your writing is a vulnerable experience, so building a connection with students allows them to feel comfortable opening up about their writing. Additionally, I help students discover what their writing process is. Writing an essay isn't a one-size-fits-all model. Once a student discovers their writing process, they will be able to write independently at a high level.

English Tutoring

I worked as a Writing Consultant for two years, where I acted as a peer mentor. I helped students with any writing-related concern they had, including outlining essays, research papers, comprehending assignments, brainstorming, and discovering their writing process. I am confident that my years of experience will be of use.

Reading Comprehension Tutoring

With a BA in English and Creative Writing, I took many literary analysis classes and I am confident in my comprehension skills. My years of experience tutoring make me feel as though I can pass my comprehension skills onto my clients. I am also incredibly patient, and have experience teaching ESL students.

Writing Advance Tutoring

At the Writing Center, I helped dozens of students transition from high school level writing to college level writing. Often times traditional English classes don't adequately prepare you for advanced forms of writing, so learning how to properly write essays will help any student, whether they plan to major in English or otherwise. All students planning to pursue higher education need to learn to write at a college level.

AP English Tutoring

I took AP English in high school, both AP Literature and AP Language. I always received stellar grades in these categories, which led me to major in English through college. I have a lot of experience tutoring students in English.

Homework Coach Tutoring

As someone who once struggled with organization, I have found a method that works for me to stay on track with my college assignments. Organization is the key, so I feel comfortable assisting with homework assignments at a high school level. I will be able to help students stay one step ahead.

Reading Tutoring

Most of my experience tutoring is with college students, but I am confident I will be able to help a middle schooler with reading skills. I am experienced in analysis, research, and discussion of texts. My degree in English should make me more than qualified to help.

Microsoft PowerPoint Tutoring

I have 8+ years of experience using Microsoft PowerPoint. I am confident I know it in-and-out, from professional, academic, and personal use. I am sure I am able to convey what I have learned to clients.

Microsoft Word Tutoring

I have 8+ years of experience using Microsoft Word. I am confident I know it in-and-out, from professional, academic, and personal use. I am sure I am able to convey what I have learned to clients.

Basic Computer Skills Tutoring

When it comes to the basic operations of a computer, I am more than capable. I have specialized training in online research, so using search engines is no problem for me. Anything a student would be expected to know, I will be able to teach them.

ESL Tutoring

I have specialized training when it comes to teaching ESL students how to write. I don't think I am educated to teach an ESL student English as a whole, but I will be able to work with an ESL student on their class assignments. Many ESL students I have worked with in the past have said that I greatly improved their writing confidence.

Study Skills Tutoring

When I was in middle school, my ADHD was undiagnosed, and because of this I never learned how to properly study. Now, I am confident in my ability to study, and I would love to help students learn how to study before outside factors become overwhelming. I know study habits look different for everyone, and I will help clients discover what works for them.
